Firewing Lair.
On Mount Vick, one of the thousands of mountains in the Jiuyou Mountains.
The terrain of Mount Vic is not very severe, the road is flat and there are few landslides and rockfalls.
For Qi Refiners in the Ninth Realm, walking here is not too difficult.
At this time, on Mount Vic, a mile away from the Fire Wing's Lair, a figure was swaying behind a dense forest.
whoosh!
Suddenly, two figures came running from the direction of the Fire Wing's nest and landed on the treetops.
"Captain, we've observed that the temperature outside the Firewing's lair has dropped to 50 degrees Celsius, and the temperature inside has dropped to around 80 degrees Celsius. Now is the best time to take action."
"It's dusk now, the time when the fire-winged birds return to their nests. If we go in now, wouldn't we be courting death?"
"That……"
On an ancient tree, a middle-aged man wearing blood-colored iron armor, with three shocking bloodstains on his face, stared at the Fire Wing Nest in the distance.
This person is the leader of the Blood Moon Mercenary Group, Li Meng.
"Wait until dark, the temperature of the nest will drop further, then we can take action." Li Mengxu narrowed his eyes as fierce as a poisonous snake and said in a deep voice.
"But when the Firewings return to their nests, the temperature will rise again, and we won't be able to enter!"
Li Meng patted the man on the back of the head and said, "Big fool, I have certainly considered this. So, keep an eye on the surroundings. When the Firewing Bird returns to its nest, attack it and lure it away. That way, I can go in."
"I see!"
“Here I come!”
"Everyone be on guard!"
Just as the discussion had ended, there was a cry from the dark sky in the distance, and a huge bird with wings wrapped in flames came flying over.
Crash!
Wherever it passed, the sky was filled with red flames.
The flames fell to the ground, and the nearby fir trees instantly spread and burned into nothingness.
This shows how harmful the burning is.
"Get started!"
Tsk tsk!
Three or four streams of spiritual energy shot out violently, hitting the Firewing Bird directly as it was about to land on the edge of the Firewing's nest.
Awww!
A terrifying howl spread across Mount Vic, causing the entire mountain to tremble slightly.
Li Siyuan and the other two, who had just arrived at Mount Vic, were also slightly frightened after feeling the howling attack from the fire-winged bird.
Shu Zhang exclaimed in surprise, "If my guess is correct, this should be the Fire-Winged Bird, a peak-level fourth-level monster. This monster excels at sonic attacks and possesses the ability to project flames over a wide area. Within ten meters, nothing can grow!"
Song Xueling asked curiously, "Who angered the Firewing Bird?"
"Go and take a look."
As Li Siyuan spoke, he jumped onto the higher peak of Mount Vick in a few steps and looked around in the direction of the howling.
I saw a huge bird with flames all over its body, flying high into the dense jungle. The trees were instantly ignited and burned into nothingness.
Then I saw a group of Qi cultivators in mercenary uniforms running around, and from time to time they looked back and attacked the fire-winged bird with their spiritual energy in order to attract the fire-winged bird.
Shu Zhang came up from behind and said, "Those are from the Blood Moon Mercenary Group. It seems their goal is also the Fire Wing Lair. We must get the spirit soul before they do!"
"Right now is the lowest temperature in the Firewing's nest. The Firewings have been attracted away by them, and the temperature inside the nest won't rise in a short period of time. This is the right time for us to take action."
Song Xueling reminded.
Li Siyuan nodded and smiled, "Someone is helping us draw fire. We can't let them down. Let's go."
Shu Zhang and Song Xueling smiled, then jumped off the mountain and ran directly to the Fire Wing's nest.
Li Siyuan was the first to walk to the entrance of the nest. He subconsciously explored the situation inside the nest and found that the temperature inside the nest was relatively high.
Of course, for Qi Refiners like them, this temperature is not painful at all.
However, Song Xueling, who is unable to practice cultivation, is just like an ordinary person. It is hard to say whether she can withstand such a temperature.
"It's okay, I'm wearing Fire Spirit Soft Armor, this temperature can be completely ignored." Song Xueling rolled up her sleeves, and under her white clothes, she was indeed wearing a set of red soft armor as thin as silk.
Shu Zhang said proudly, "The Fire Spirit Soft Armor is an eighth-grade spiritual armor with extremely high defense and fire resistance. It is extremely difficult for Qi Refiners below the first level to injure the Young Master. This spiritual armor, like the spiritual weapons, was made by the Young Master!"
Li Siyuan nodded.
Although Song Xueling is unable to practice, the spiritual weapons and armor she forged give her hidden strength, which should not be underestimated.
"Without further delay, let's go!"
The three of them turned around without hesitation and ran into the Fire Wing's nest.
In the distance, after the Firewing Bird was lured away, Li Meng led his men towards the Firewing's nest. He happened to see Li Siyuan and others running into the Firewing's nest, and immediately frowned.
One of the team members suddenly shouted, "Young Master Song Xueling of Yancheng, Iron General Shu Zhang, and the other one is mercenary Li Siyuan!"
Li Meng narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of murderous intent. He asked, "Oh? That Li Siyuan is the guy who killed my brother Li Mao?"
"That's right, Captain! If I hadn't hidden well, I would have been killed long ago."
The team member nodded sullenly and said, "It was Li Siyuan who ruined our plan. Otherwise, our attempt to seize the Nine Nether Meteorite from Song Xueling would have been successful long ago!"
Li Meng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He said, "Excellent! I was just waiting to kill them to avenge my brother, but I didn't expect them to come to my door!"
After saying that, Li Meng quickly headed towards the Fire Wing's nest.
Inside the nest.
Li Siyuan and the other two have already gone deep into the nest, exploring with a purpose.
Shu Zhang held the map in his hand. Following the route markings on the map, he easily bypassed several dead ends and arrived at the location of the spirit.
Ahead is a cliff a hundred feet wide.
The cliff is a deep abyss, and there is a bridge made of ropes connecting the two sides.
"This map records very detailed information." Li Siyuan exclaimed in amazement. He wondered where Shu Zhang got it from. It seemed as if the person who recorded the map had been here before.
Shu Zhang smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking. That's right, ever since the man from outside the state fell here, this map has passed through countless hands. They've all been here, recording every place they explored. By the time this map fell into my hands, it had already been recorded in great detail."
Li Siyuan nodded and said, "I see."
The cliff ahead is a place where flames are burning.
The raging flames are constantly burning, and the temperature is rising sharply.
However, because they entered at the time when the temperature was the lowest, the flames could only slightly hinder the speed of their movements.
The three of them followed the rope and quickly reached the opposite cliff.
Song Xueling was wearing the Fire Spirit Soft Armor. Wherever she passed, the flames would be pushed away directly, but it did not affect her. At most, she would sweat from the heat.
Li Siyuan and Shu Zhang had no protective measures and could only rely on spiritual energy to resist the invasion of flames, so their speed was much slower.
